First Arrested Development Trailer for Netflix Season Starts Final Countdown

It’s been seven years since the last episode of Arrested Development – and in less than two weeks, all 15 episodes of Netflix’s reboot of the series will be hitting the video-streaming service. To start the final countdown (all Gob references intended), Netflix has released a teaser for the upcoming season and – by the looks of it – as much as things have changed, they’ve also stayed the same.

What’s new? On first review it seems Michael Bluth’s (Jason Bateman) hair is shorter, Lindsay Bluth Fünke’s (Portia de Rossi) hair is kind of all over the place, and George Michael (Michael Cera) and Maeby Fünke (Alia Shawkat) now look like the grown-ups we know them as, compared to the fresh-faced newbies they were when the series started a decade ago. The star-crossed cousins are also now apparently at college together, which promises to be epic levels of awkward. There are also teases of plenty of other new storylines, but frankly they go by so quickly it’s hard to tell what exactly they might mean.

What’s stayed the same? Tobias Fünke (David Cross) is still acting! Gob Bluth (Will Arnett) is still magic-ing! Lucille Bluth (Jessica Walter) and Buster Bluth (Tony Hale) still have the most troubling relationship a mother and son can have on screen! Also, it appears we can still count on Tobias and Lindsay to have exchanges that go something like this: “I really love you, Tobias.” – Lindsay; “Oh Lindsay, we’ve got to get you to that acting class.” – Tobias. Oh, and Kitty Sanchez (Judy Greer) is back and while still completely misunderstanding most things is now able to put in a solid five seconds of screen time without flashing anyone or yelling “Spring break!”

Yes friends, Arrested Development’s arrested development is finally over and soon we’ll get to see just what it’s evolved into. The show’s new fourth season starts streaming on Netflix on May 26, and man, it’ll feel good to laugh again.
